What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)?
Vestibular rehabilitation is a type of therapy that helps people who feel dizzy, unsteady, or have balance problems. It focuses on exercises that train your brain and inner ear to work better together, so you feel more stable when walking, turning your head, or moving around. It's often used for conditions like vertigo, inner ear disorders, or after a
concussion. The goal is to reduce dizziness and improve balance so you can go about your daily life more comfortably.
How does VRT work?
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy works by training your brain to adapt to balance problems and
dizziness. It uses specific exercises that help your brain get used to movement, so you feel less
dizzy and more stable.
Here’s how it works in simple terms:
Helping Your Brain Adjust
If your inner ear isn’t working properly, your brain can get confused, causing dizziness. The exercises help your brain learn new ways to keep you balanced.
Improving Eye and Head Coordination
Some exercises teach your eyes and head to work together better, so quick movements don’t make you feel dizzy.
Building Strength and Balance
You practice standing, walking, and moving in ways that make you steadier and reduce your risk of falling.
Over time, your brain learns to handle movement more smoothly, and your dizziness improves.

Regain Stability, Restore Confidence
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is designed for individuals experiencing dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, or frequent falls. It benefits those recovering from inner ear disorders, concussions, or neurological conditions, helping restore stability and improve overall mobility.
Inner Ear Disorders
-
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – sudden dizziness triggered by headmovements due to displaced crystals within the inner ear.
-
Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis inflammation of the inner ear or vestibular nerve causing dizziness and imbalance.
-
Meniere’s disease – a disorder that leads to episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and
tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
-
Perilymphatic Fistula and Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome (SCDS) – structural
inner ear issues causing balance disturbances.
Neurologic and Post-Concussion Conditions
-
Post-Concussion Syndrome – dizziness, motion sensitivity, and balance issues following a head injury.
-
Vestibular Migraine – episodes of dizziness and vertigo associated with migraine
headaches.
-
Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – balance impairments and dizziness due to
neurologic damage.
General Balance and Motion Sensitivity Issues
-
Unilateral or Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction – reduced function in one or both
vestibular systems leading to chronic imbalance.
-
Age-Related Balance Decline – older adults at risk of falls due to decreased vestibular
function and coordination.
-
Motion Sensitivity – discomfort or dizziness triggered by movement, such as in busy
environments or while reading in motion.
